Liam Delap Injury: Close to resume team training

Delap (hamstring) is close to resume team training and it could happen in several days, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "Liam is very close. He is not working with us yet. He is still out. Hopefully in the next days he can start training with us."

Delap suffered a long-term hamstring injury during the game against the Cottagers in late August but has made good progress in his recovery and is expected to resume team training very soon, likely in the coming days. This is good news for Chelsea as he should have a decent role in the striker position once he is fully fit and available.
